Just tried to use the SHIFT+ALT+T on Windows XP Pro SP2 and the same 
problem non functional Accel keys. I am wondering if this is a Regional 
problem. I have my computers set up for Australia with US keyboard 
layout ( linux is LANG=en_AU.UTF-8) does anyone else know why the accel 
keys don't work?
